I find it odd that we are willing to have a huge budget for Wikimania
and none for recording videos of talks for non-attendees to view. I think
we owe it to them. It can be crowdfunded if need be.
An interesting idea perhaps is to group video if we have a reliable way
to crowd source this.
I did notice a video cam recording the talk after mine. I am unsure if
mine was recorded as well. Does anyone know who was operating the tripod
camera? I seen it in other talks too.
